The director gave my wife full responsibility for the project so he could take the back seat (O diretor deu à minha esposa total responsabilidade pelo projeto para que ele pudesse assumir um papel secundário)

Turn your back on [someone or something] – when you turn your back on someone or something, you lose interest or stop helping them (dar as costas a alguém)

Lorelai’s father turned his back on her when she got pregnant (O pai de Lorelai deu as costas a ela quando ela engravidou)

When Alex became famous, she turned her back on all her family and old friends (Quando Alex ficou famosa, ela deu as costas a todos os familiares e velhos amigos)

Bend over backwards – when you bend over backwards to do something, you make a special effort to help someone (se esforçar, fazer de tudo)

I had to bend over backwards to help Luke with his birthday party and he didn’t even thank me (Tive que me esforçar tanto para ajudar o Luke com sua festa de aniversário e ele nem me agradeceu)

Phil has been bending over backwards to help his wife with her political campaign (Phil tem feito de tudo para ajudar a esposa com a campanha política dela)

Tonight I’m tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won’t do without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ohh, I’m on your back
I’m on your back
Oh oh ohh, I’m on your back

If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you

If you’d accept surrender, I’ll give up some more
Weren’t you adored?
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ohh, I’m on your back
I’m on your back
Oh oh ohh, I’m on your back

If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you

Another heart is cracked
In twoI’m on your back

I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ohh, I’m on your back
I’m on your back
Oh oh ohh, I’m on your back

If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
